The
Niagara Military Affairs Council has announced Emmy-winning journalist Rita

First
released in 2010, "Quiet Hero"
chronicles a true story of heroism and courage in Cosby's own family, detailing
her father's youth as a Polish resistance fighter who battled the Nazis during
the Warsaw Uprising in World War II. The book went on to become a best seller
on several lists, including the New
York Times, USA Today
and the Washington Post. The
book has been hailed as "a loving, poignant tribute to her POW father and freedom"
by Sen. John McCain, and "a beautiful tribute to the strength of the human
spirit" by former Secretary of State Dr. Henry Kissinger.

Cosby

best-selling author and radio host. She has received three Emmys, the Jack
